idosubaru Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 is that a Subaru manual or something else? why doesn't it show a clip on that boot - does the oring replace the clip or it's in addition to it? EA82 XT's don't have an oring there. but it's a rather benign oring - get an automotive grade oring sized to match at any auto parts store - they have bins of them they can match to size. even if they have standard sizes there will be one suitable for a metric oring.

DaveT Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Sounds like you got things back together. Something is very wrong if you have to drive a roll pin with much more than moderate firm tapping... There are very few things to use the "get a bigger hammer" technique on with these cars, and those are usually last ditch destructive disassembly. 6 point sockets - good ones - help a lot with these old stuck bolts. The o ring can be used like an elastic to help hold the end closed / in place. But all of the ones I remember seeing have steel spring clips holding the boot.
